I am a student and I am doing a project about city logistics and I have the next question:</p>
<p>Is it possible to write two addresses or coordinates in Excel and get the routing distance between those points from OSM, if yes, how I can do it? </p>JrangelThu, 06 Dec 2018 18:28:54 +0000https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/67086/interface-osm-with-excelinterfaceexcelroutingOSM Interfacehttps://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/45983/osm-interface<p>hello everyone.

Also, searching for place in Goggle, opening it on Google maps and switching to OSM would be typically a good idea (Nominatim search is not working really well).</p>
<p>Therefore something that would allow to easily switch between maps, without changing location would be really useful. Has anybody made Firefox extension that is able to do this? Is there maybe extension for some other browser? Optionally, is there some similar tool?</p>Mateusz KoniecznyWed, 02 Jul 2014 08:03:27 +0100https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/34526/is-there-a-firefox-extension-allowing-to-switch-between-osm-and-google-mapsinterfacegooglefirefoxextensiongoogle_mapsHow to control mouse wheel zooming with Apple Magic Mouse?https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/30119/how-to-control-mouse-wheel-zooming-with-apple-magic-mouse<p>On openstreetmap.org, mouse-wheel zooming is far too sensitive and impossible to control with an Apple Magic Mouse (whose “mouse wheel” is a touch panel). Using the website is very frustrating.</p>
<p>Specifically, while panning around with mouse click, every mouse-up risks zooming the map randomly in or out. Whether trying to zoom or not, even very small movements risk unintentionally zooming two or three levels at a time. Sometimes a zoom out is immediately followed by an unintentional zoom in, or vice versa. Sometimes I have to attempt a zoom several times in a row, and the repeated and jumpy visual zoom is on the verge of inducing motion sickness.</p>
<p>Is there a way to reduce the mouse-wheel sensitivity for the site? Barring that, is there a way to disable it?</p>
<p>Background info:</p>
<ul>
<li>This is the mouse that comes with all desktop Macs.</li>
<li>There is no software sensitivity control for this mouse’s zoom. </li>
<li>Scrolling and zooming work very well in most other apps and websites (for example, scroll-zooming in Google Maps is pretty good).</li>

I tried hovering my mouse over them but did not get any tooltips. Eventually I just tried clicking on the left pointing U-turn-arrow only to have all my information deleted. I still don't know if it is a reset or undo button.</p>
<p>I could not find any way to give feedback, a bug tracker or way to contact a developer so I am left to ask this as a question here.</p>John6Wed, 07 Aug 2013 16:03:57 +0100https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/25041/why-are-there-no-tooltips-in-the-id-editorinterfaceideditoruserStrange FIND function resulthttps://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/18741/strange-find-function-result<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>Please try to find place by location like: " 50.31235 34.86754" (with space before the numbers), next you will try to find for: "50.31235 34.86754".</p>
<p>I have completely different places result..</p>
<p>The first of requests return (in Russian lang.) "Т-17-05, Кнышовка, Гадячский район, Полтавская область, Украина" and point to road in the forest - wrong place! Next request return no text but point to true geographic location (Ohtyrka town).</p>

first time here, adding new forest trails in my area. I have some basic difficulty with the Potlatch 2 editing interface (haven't tried the others).</p>
<p>So I add a trail based on my own GPS track. Works fine if I start from nowhere, I add the points and I connect the end to an existing trail. But how can I connect the <em>start</em> to an existing trail ? I can move the red dot but it won't connect automatically to an existing trail if I put it on top. Also I can't start a new trail from an existing one because it selects and move the existing one if I click on it...</p>
<p>Next question: once I have established a trail, how can I add dots to it (for instance to increase precision) ?
Thanks</p>dargaudFri, 20 Jul 2012 10:51:59 +0100https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/14419/how-to-connect-new-trails-or-ways-to-existing-ones-in-potlatch-2interfacetrailsconnectionwayspotlatch2OSM interface changeshttps://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/11581/osm-interface-changes<p>I hesitated posting this question, even after reading the wiki and help pages and because this question is not about tagging, how and who are the changes to the website interface made?
I'm referring to the layer drop down menu I've only just noticed. I'm not keen on it.
I'll explain. When I contribute or about to contribute I always check different layers to get a feel for the area, then edit either on Potlatch2 or JOSM. For that I used to click on the + and have the menu open and cycle through the layers. Now the menu is a drop down and rolls back after changing layer.
I am nitpicking but it's annoying.</p>
<p>Is there a chance of rolling the change back or contributing to OSM but from another website which would have a different interface?</p>MeersbrookWed, 28 Mar 2012 23:30:13 +0100https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/11581/osm-interface-changesinterfacelayersCan I insert the map on my site ?https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/8094/can-i-insert-the-map-on-my-site<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I want to provide a search feature for my site where someone with one click can find a store / vendor using <a href="http://openstreetmap.org">openstreetmap.org</a>.</p>
<p>Currently this is in the research phase. Any ideas if this can be done ?</p>
<p>If this can not be put on the site how about in a mobile application ?</p>

It should be great to finish this because when you have 2 buttons with the choice between "null" and "null" or a menu [object Object] at every line it is not really convenient.</p>

<p>I'm in Germany and I work with Windows 7 and Opera, everything completely installed and setup in German. However when I open the openstreetmap via openstreetmap.<strong>org</strong> the interface (ie.e everything <strong>outside</strong> the map-area, the "tabs" above, and the info- and link-blocks at the left) is in French. I never have setup anything in French on my computer as I'm not really skilled in French. That problem only appears on my "main" computer, on the other devices (netbook and android phone) which share the same Internet connection (T-Online) everything is completely in German. I haven't found any option on the site <a href="http://openstreetmap.org">openstreetmap.org</a> where I could change this. When I open the openstreetmap via openstreetmap.<strong>de</strong> everything is correctly on German. However I like the .org-interface more so I'd like to be able to access the openstreetmap also via the .org-link in german.</p>
<p>Regards<br>

Very accurate maps, even for remote places.
There is only one thing about the GUI which I cannot understand: Why is the Search-field not positioned top left - but "bottom" left, so that one has to scroll down on small screens to enter a search? </p>HessenPitSat, 22 Jan 2011 12:35:34 +0000https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/2362/search-field-should-be-positioned-top-leftinterfaceguisearch-field
